Gloomy day

On my way home from work today, the rain suddenly started pouring down. It was so heavy, I could barely see the road infront of me. I have seen heavy rain before, but not quite like that.
When I arrived home, I was happy to see that the roadworks which have been going on for a week on road opposite my flat were no longer there.... however then I noticed that they had moved next to my parking space. Delightful! It looks like an open grave. All the grass has also been driven over lots, it looks like a wasteland. All to probably give water supply to some new homes that have been under construction ever since we moved in, and were due to be completed in 'Spring 2008'. Thank you Thames Water.

I also see that is gloomy for Canada in the Olympic medal table. I checked to see where Great Britain is, and was pleased to see it is ninth place. I am not surprised to see this small island behind countries with much bigger populations like China and the USA. Then, I checked to see where Canada is in the Olympic tables, and checked again, and again. It isn't even in the medal table yet as Canada doesn't even have a single bronze medal. Even Togo and Kyrgyzstan have one bronze medal each! At least there is a Winter Olympics...
